HISTORY: On Thursday, June 19th, 2014, a group of concerned community members, immigrant advocates, and organizers came together to strategize how to address the recent immigration crisis taking place on the U.S.-Mexico border as more and more unaccompanied minors are detained and held in warehouses under inhumane conditions all across the United States. We are highly concerned with the way the media is portraying this as a “humanitarian crisis” that needs military intervention, which are the grounds the U.S. government and Obama administration are using to justify the continued expansion of the migrant detention system and the iView pagencarceration of undocumented youth.

Please join us for our next meeting/event if you are interested in becoming involved to change this discourse and create REAL alternatives for our migrant youth and families! Volunteerfor a committee, and help us spread the word!
